1790, extra meal
Chen Li nodded, stopped crying, and said with choked sobs.
"Teacher Wu is an orphan. She grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. Later she was admitted to the normal school. After graduation, in order to repay the fellow villagers who raised her, she returned here and became a teacher in this school. But.
The good times did not last long. Teacher Wu had only worked here for a year. She suddenly fainted during class and was sent to a hospital in the county. Unexpectedly, the examination revealed that she had a tumor in her brain."
When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened, but at this moment Zhang Shijie spoke.
"Brain tumors can vary in severity, not to mention that medical science is so advanced now."
"Brother Zhang, that's what I said, but how much money can a volunteer teacher who has only graduated a year have? If Principal Chen and several teachers here hadn't pooled the money for her to go to a tertiary hospital in the city for an examination, I'm afraid she would be in the county now.
No hospital here could find a cause. Later, Teacher Wu found out about his condition and inquired about the cost of treatment, so he gave up. Now he undergoes conservative treatment at the county hospital every day and uses drugs to control the growth rate of the tumor."
In the crowd, someone was already sobbing quietly. At first glance, it was the youngest Zhou Jing. The others were not very good either, and all of them had heavy faces.
Xiao Muyou frowned and asked.
"Then did Principal Chen say how long Teacher Wu can sustain this situation?"
"The doctor said it would only last half a year at most. Now the tumor has compressed the optic nerve and Teacher Wu has become blind. If this continues, there is only death."
"Mr. Xiao, we cannot ignore this matter. Such a young girl has such a kind heart. We cannot let her leave like this."
Ma Huixin said with red eyes, and others nodded repeatedly.
"Don't worry. Now that we know about this, we won't just sit idly by. So, I'll make a call first."
After saying that, Xiao Muyou picked up the phone and went to the window, found a place with a good signal, and made a call.
"Sister Mu You, why are you calling me when you have time? I met Brother Yiheng a few days ago and he said that you are going to Sichuan Province soon."
On the phone, a man's somewhat surprised voice came. Xiao Muyou said directly without further explanation.
"Fu Juechen, I'm in Sichuan Province now. I have a patient here with a brain tumor. I don't know the specific situation yet, but the doctor said she still has half a year at most, but I don't want to give up, so can you help?
"
That's right, Xiao Muyou called Fu Juechen, the future heir of the Fu family. Xiao Muyou knew that the Fu family's Hengsheng Hospital also had a branch in Sichuan Province.
Fu Juechen on the other end of the phone didn't hesitate at all. He didn't ask what the relationship between the patient and Xiao Muyou was. The person who could make Xiao Muyou speak directly must be someone she felt was worth helping.
"Okay, I'll contact the person in charge of Sichuan Province right away. Give me ten minutes and I'll have the people there contact you directly. If the patient's condition is serious, I will send experts there."
"Jue Chen, thank you."
"Sister Mu You, there's no need to say thank you between us."
After hearing this, Xiao Muyou finally had a smile on his face, and then he thought about it and said again.
"By the way, there is no need to tell her about the patient's medical expenses. I will bear them when the time comes."
"Yes, it seems to be related to your charity event this time. In this case, Hengsheng Hospital will also contribute. Don't worry, I will keep an eye on this matter personally."
With Fu Juechen's words, Xiao Muyou was completely relieved. After all, Fu Juechen himself was an expert in brain surgery. If it didn't work, he could just look for Qiao Muyi.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Muyou finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not stay any longer. Instead, she and Chen Li went to Principal Chen's place again. After explaining their purpose clearly, the elderly Principal Chen burst into tears.
For more than a month, he had been running around on Teacher Wu's affairs, but his money was stretched thin, so in the end he could only receive conservative treatment.
"You are really good people. I would like to thank you in advance for Xiao Wu. Thank you very much."
Principal Chen bowed deeply to Xiao Muyou and Chen Li, expressing his sincere gratitude.
Xiao Muyou and Chen Li could not bear such a great gift, so they immediately helped Principal Chen sit down.
"Principal Chen, Chen Li will be responsible for Teacher Wu's affairs in the future. You will need to send someone to go to the hospital with her later. At that time, a hospital in Mian City will send people over to take Teacher Wu for treatment. Everything that follows
You don’t have to worry about the cost. In short, we will do our best to treat Teacher Wu.”
"Okay, okay, in this case, I will ask Teacher Tian and this little girl Chen to go to the hospital together. There are too many things at the school, so I won't go there."
"Okay, the road to the county town from here is not easy, so just let the young people go there, and then just keep in touch by phone."
During the chat, news came from Fu Juechen. The head of the brain surgery department of the Mianshi Branch of Hengsheng Hospital directly contacted Xiao Muyou. The two parties discussed the itinerary, and Xiao Muyou gave Chen Li's contact information.
With the other party, this matter can be regarded as getting off to a good start.
As for the follow-up treatment, there is nothing Xiao Muyou can do and can only rely on those medical experts. But Xiao Muyou still has good expectations in her heart. She always feels that good deeds are rewarded, and that kind-hearted woman
Children should not leave this beautiful world so early.
After that, Xiao Muyou explained some things to Chen Li, and Chen Li didn't waste any time. He and Teacher Tian from the school immediately set off to the county hospital.
At around 12 noon, Xiao Muyou was resting in the dormitory when Chen Li called and Mianshi had sent a doctor.
At present, Teacher Wu's condition is relatively stable. As for the specific treatment in the future, we will have to wait until the examination in Mianshi to find out. Because the journey is a bit far, Chen Li did not go with him. Teacher Tian followed him to Mianshi. Chen Li
I should be able to ride back to school in a fellow villager's oxcart in the afternoon.
After hearing the news, Xiao Muyou breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Chen Li.
"Since the fellow's ox cart is empty, you can buy some supplies in the county town. I think the children here are a little malnourished. You can buy some pork and eggs and bring back the rest. You can take care of the rest. You can't let the ox cart
Come back empty."
"Okay, boss, I'll be back before dark."
"Well, be careful on the road. That's it for now."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Muyou didn't bother to take a rest and went to Principal Chen again. Unexpectedly, several teachers from the school were there. Judging from the situation, they were all waiting for news.
Xiao Muyou told Teacher Wu's situation, and the faces of these teachers finally showed happy smiles. Those who can come to such a place to teach are all kind-hearted. They cherish life especially, especially
One's own companions and colleagues.
Chen Li returned to school at four o'clock in the afternoon and pulled a cart full of supplies. The most conspicuous thing was a large piece of pork on the top of the supplies.
Chen Li bought half a pig directly. Fortunately, the school was still in session. If the students saw these supplies, they would probably drool.
"Okay, I'm afraid you didn't buy enough."
"Boss, you don't know that in order to buy half a pig, I traveled half of the county. Because the people here are in good condition, they are reluctant to sell meat, so the owner of this meat stall does not come out to set up a stall every day. Fortunately, fellow villagers
I know the address of the boss’s house, and I happened to catch him killing pigs when I went there.”
Listening to Chen Li's experience in the county today, Xiao Muyou was also quite surprised.
"Then why didn't you buy the whole pig?"
"That half has been ordered, so I can only buy the remaining half. But I bought several baskets of eggs, oh, and duck eggs. The fellow said that they can be made into salted duck eggs. In this way, I can buy the remaining half.
It can be stored for a longer time, and the meat can also be made into bacon or bacon, otherwise it will not be stored for a long time."
While talking, several grown men had already started unloading the goods. Chen Li had gained a lot from this trip.
In addition to pork and eggs, Chen Li also bought several chickens, a dozen large watermelons, and some vegetables that are not available in the mountains.
Xiao Muyou looked at the time and asked Principal Chen next to him.
"What time do you have dinner tonight?"
"It's half past five. Do you want to give the children extra food?"
Xiao Muyou nodded and said something.
"We want to eat too."
"Okay, I'll ask the chef from the cafeteria to come over and cut some pork later, and make a cabbage stew for the kids tonight. I really want to thank you this time. Our school usually eats meat once a week, and it's just part of the vegetables.
Add some shredded pork and minced pork, and it becomes a meat dish."
"Principal Chen, I see, don't you have several large freezers in your cafeteria? In this way, we will buy a few pigs and you can find a way to make some food that can be stored for a long time, so that you can often replenish the food for the children in the future.
"
Principal Chen was not polite this time. He also knew that the children were suffering, so he shamelessly agreed.
"Thank you so much."
"Principal Chen, you really don't need to thank us. It's our honor to be able to do something for the children."
After thanking each other, everyone got busy again. Because today is Friday and tomorrow is the weekend, Xiao Muyou discussed with the teachers at the school and decided to hold a party tonight with all the students who live on campus.
No, now everyone is divided into two teams. One team goes to the canteen to help the cooks together. Tonight, all the teachers and students in the school will have extra meals, three dishes and one soup.
